What Will History Say?

History will tell the story

Of how the U.S. abandoned Ukraine--

Of how an American dictator rose

To power and left it out in the rain--

Of how he sidled up to the leader

Of Russia, and how his admin team

Carried out their Führer's plans

By fully supporting the tyrant's regime--

Of how the American dictator lied

And called Ukraine the true aggressor,

In total opposition to his

Wise and compassionate predecessor--

Of how the European nations

Continued to give Ukraine support

While the American bully's team

Continued to look for truths to distort--

Of how the American tyrant discounted

The pain that the Russians had inflicted

Upon the Ukrainian people, who

Held out longer than folks had predicted--

Of how the bully would help Ukraine

ONLY if there was quid pro quo,

For as a transactional tyrant, he didn't

Like it at all if someone said no--

Of how the dictator's sycophants

Maintained that democracy had failed,

Scoffed at the rule of law, and cheered

When liberties were being curtailed.

What will history say of the people

Who flatly refused the tyrant's demands--

Resisters on American shores

And caring leaders from other lands?

Maybe if all goes well, the cruel

And vicious tyrant will choke on his glory,

And leaders of democracy

Can change the outcome of history's story.

Führer's:
"Führer" is a German word meaning "leader" or "guide".

It became infamous when Adolf Hitler adopted the title "Der Führer" in 1934, after merging the roles of Chancellor and President to become absolute dictator of Nazi Germany. Since then, the term has been inseparable from fascism, authoritarianism, and militarism. In English today, it implies a dangerous, all-powerful ruler with no respect for democratic limits.

Trump and Putin are now increasingly called “Führer” because of their recent actions and rhetoric. Trump has vowed to act as a “dictator on day one”, promised mass deportations, used dehumanizing language for political enemies, and threatened to jail opponents. He also praised Putin, blamed Ukraine for provoking Russia, and questioned continued U.S. support for Ukraine — aligning himself, even rhetorically, with an aggressor. Putin, meanwhile, continues waging a full-scale, unprovoked war against Ukraine, crushing dissent at home, and ruling through fear and propaganda.

The term “Führer” is used to group them as symbols of rising authoritarianism. It mocks their shared contempt for liberal democracy and admiration for brute power. The German word invokes Hitler deliberately — not as a casual insult, but as a historical warning. It signals that both leaders are seen as threats to global stability and democratic values.

Translation

Co powie historia?

Historia opowie kiedyś,

jak USA porzuciły Ukrainę,

jak amerykański dyktator doszedł do władzy

i zostawił ją w deszczu, bez osłony.

Jak zbliżył się do przywódcy Rosji,

a jego administracja

realizowała plany Führera,

wspierając reżim tyrana bez zastrzeżeń.

Jak amerykański dyktator kłamał,

oskarżając Ukrainę o agresję,

wbrew mądremu i współczującemu

poprzednikowi, którego zastąpił.

Jak europejskie narody

nadal wspierały Ukrainę,

podczas gdy zespół amerykańskiego tyrana

szukał prawd, które można było wypaczyć.

Jak tyran zlekceważył cierpienie,

które Rosjanie zadali Ukraińcom,

którzy wytrwali dłużej,

niż ktokolwiek przewidywał.

Jak tyran był gotów pomóc Ukrainie

TYLKO w zamian za przysługę,

bo jako transakcyjny despota nie znosił,

gdy ktoś odmawiał mu współpracy.

Jak jego pochlebcy twierdzili,

że demokracja zawiodła,

drwili z rządów prawa i wiwatowali,

gdy ograniczano wolności obywatelskie.

Co historia powie o tych,

którzy stanowczo odrzucili żądania tyrana

o opornych na amerykańskiej ziemi

i troskliwych przywódcach z innych krajów?

Może, jeśli wszystko pójdzie dobrze,

okrutny i bezwzględny tyran zadławi się własną chwałą,

a przywódcy demokracji

odmienią bieg historii.
